Manchester, 5 August 2020: An unfinished 96-run third wicket partnership between Shan Masood (46) and Babar Azam (69) steered Pakistan to 139 for two on a rain-affected opening day’s play in the first ICC World Test Championship fixture against England at Old Trafford.
The two batsmen had joined each other after Pakistan had picked two spinners and then made a brave decision to bat first before they slipped to 43 for two.
After an early close of play due to bad light, Shan Masood held a virtual media conference, which is available here for free download and editorial use.
